With the Ss and the rhyming this book is a lot of fun. A silly read that kids will enjoy. The illustrations are nice and the snake has a lot of character.

I think this is such a cute, funny, and engaging bedtime story! I love the rhyme scheme and think after reading it with your child a few times before bedtime, they will definitely be able to read it along with you! I love how this book takes the idea of the conventional “monster under your bed” type tale and replaces it with a sssilly sssnake! I also really like the use of onomatopoeia on most pages in the book! Words like “whoosh!” and “slurp” really adds to the amusement and engagement of a book like this. Kids can even read along and make these sounds with you!
One part that I think is exceptionally clever is the scene where the father comes into the room with a rake to defend the child against the snake. He has plans to whack it on the head to get rid of it, like most people would do with a pest in the house. But, Suzie very quickly exclaims that hurting him isn’t going to do anything and that instead, they should bake him a cake! I really like this because it takes the focus off of getting rid of problems through harm and instead, focuses on getting rid of things in more kinder ways!
I think the illustrations in this book are super cute, however, I think that with the addition of some extra detail, the images would be more appealing. For example, there are a couple of pages that are just one color and have the snake in the corner. I think that maybe if there was some shading, and more detail in the background that kids may find it more interesting!
Finally, I absolutely adore that the sound that is focused on throughout this book is the letter “s.” This is really important for children to practice because a lot of them really struggle with their “s” sounds! Having an interactive book where they can practice saying this sound on each page will be so beneficial!!
I would like to thank BooksGoSocial for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
